Jason smashes through the Robot Centurions

In this grid drawing worksheet, young Jason the eagle, hero of the Chronicles of the Thunderbird, is swooshing throught the air and smashing and crashing Robot Centurions. KBAM! Robot Centurions are no match for this quick and agile eagle cartoon character. You can see the springs and pieces of robot falling away as Jason crashes through them. With an outstretched fist and a keen eagle eye on his target Jason really appears determined. His wings are tucked for speed and he is on his way to save the day.

Cartoon Characters often have three fingered-hands

As you learn how to draw Jason, notice that he only has three fingers and a thumb. This is common on a cartoon character. Often cartoon birds have wings that turn into hands. In the case of Jason, he actually has arms with three-fingered hands. Look at other cartoon characters to see how many fingers they have. Also notuice the varying line weights in the eagle drawing. Thicker lines help to set off important shapes that the artist wants you to see. After you have use the grid drawing worksheet to draw Jason, vary the line weights when you ink your drawing with marker or pen.

Bursts and Clouds indicate violent action without having to show it.
